Articoli correlati a Philosophy in the Present
Two controversial thinkers discuss a timeless but nonetheless urgent question: should philosophy interfere in the world?
Nothing less than philosophy is at stake because, according to Badiou, philosophy is nothing but interference and commitment and will not be restrained by academic discipline. Philosophy is strange and new, and yet speaks in the name of all - as Badiou shows with his theory of universality.
Similarly, Zizek believes that the philosopher must intervene, contrary to all expectations, in the key issues of the time. He can offer no direction, but this only shows that the question has been posed incorrectly: it is valid to change the terms of the debate and settle on philosophy as abnormality and excess.
At once an invitation to philosophy and an introduction to the thinking of two of the most topical and controversial philosophers writing today, this concise volume will be of great interest to students and general readers alike.

Recensione:
"The book is an incisive critique of the role of the intellectual within the areas of violence and hunger, love and death. I am sure it will inspire many to go further into the writings of these two very radical philosophers whose intellectual polemics offer a compelling conversation on contemporary visions of resistance to arbitrary state power and violence through a revitalised view of philosophy′s place in the world today."

"How can philosophy be restored to its true vocation as a form of ethical and political intervention? In this lively, accessible debate two of Europe′s most challenging thinkers present their answers to this question – and discover how much agreement as well as discord there is between them."
Peter Dews, University of Essex
Alain Badiou, L'École normale superieure, Paris and Slavoj Zizek, Institute of Sociology, Ljubljana in Slovenia
